Many of Saturday's papers carry a photo of the TV presenter Holly Willoughby on their front pages, after a man appeared in court accused of plotting her kidnap and murder. "US hitman plot to murder Holly" is the headline in the Sun.
The Guardian leads with Labour's "new homes pledge" which the party's deputy leader Angela Rayner says would mean the biggest boost to affordable housing in a generation. In an interview before the party's annual conference in Liverpool, she says the Conservatives' target of 300,000 new homes a year should be the "benchmark" for a Labour government and she wanted to exceed that number. She said the increase would be achieved by getting tough on developers and reforming planning rules.
The i says Sir Keir Starmer will announce plans to give new powers to local authorities to build on specific parts of the green belt – with what it calls the "golden triangle" between London, Cambridge and Oxford already under consideration. The paper says Labour also wants to build new towns next to existing railway lines.
The front page of the Times carries a warning from Labour that the NHS must "modernise or die". In an interview, the party's shadow health secretary Wes Streeting promises to double the number of diagnostic scanners in hospitals to give patients faster access to treatments.
The Daily Telegraph's lead says police have wrongly labelled "hundreds" of suspected rapists as women – despite the home secretary saying the practice is wrong. The paper says it approached police forces using Freedom of Information requests to find out how often they had "adopted the self-declared gender of alleged sex attackers". Earlier this year Suella Braverman said that "in no instance" was it biologically or legally right for a rapist to be described as a "she".
"Manopause madness" is the headline on the front of the Daily Mail. It reports that dozens of councils, universities, police forces and fire services have "male menopause" policies to help middle-aged men cope with symptoms like poor sleep, or mood swings. But critics – according to the paper – say it leaves women fighting for "ownership of something which is biologically female". It quotes one campaigner who says "women can't have anything of their own".
And under the headline "Paddington: I can't bear being in Peru", the Daily Star reveals that scenes for the third Paddington film – where the fictional bear returns home to "darkest Peru" for a holiday – are actually being shot in neighbouring Colombia. It reports that Peruvians are "outraged" and believe their own government's "restrictive red tape" is to blame.
